“When I think about Ukraine, I see my homeland in flames; and I am also suffocating in them. Right now Ukraine is more valuable to me than ever. Now I know that homeland is the people who come together as one to defend freedom. The price for that is incredibly high – it's life. I think of the people in Ukraine – they are my homeland.”
